Format:Paperback
This is a brilliant book. It is relatively inexpensive, especially compared to many books available on Spenser, yet it works out as great value for money when you take into account the understanding of the work you will gain after reading this Introduction.
Writers and their Work is a very good series anyway, and I have read many of their other volumes. But this work on Spenser's 'Faery Queene' has to be the perfect companion for any undergraduate student.
It is clear and concise, and the language makes it an enjoyable read. But it is also packed with wonderful detail.
If you ever felt swamped by the tidal waves of information in Hamilton's edition (Norton), or completely lost by the lack of anything substantially helpful in the penguin version, then this book helps keep you in perspective, and see what are the key concepts when trying to understand Spenser.
Colin Burrow is a respected critic, and this book is eminently quotable for any essay, without feeling ashamed that you haven't dived into a huge tome. It really points you in the right direction, and helps you grasp one of the most seminal, but also one of the most challenging works of literature: I would seriously recommend this book for any student of Spenser.
